Open-pit mining is a process of extracting mineral deposits from the earth's crust. An open-pit mine site may consist of several pits, each of which is excavated in a series of phases, benches or so-called "pushbacks" (Wetherelt and Van der Wielen 2011). To design a pit at the strategic level, the whole orebody is divided into block

The Akyem open-pit mine comprises of two lobes occupying a total area of 139ha. The open-pit mining operation employs drilling and blasting techniques for ore extraction. The extracted ore is loaded into haul trucks using shovels and backhoes. The waste rock is transported by haul roads to select disposal areas in the open-pit.
Mining - Strip, Open-Pit, Quarrying: It has been estimated that more than two-thirds of the world's yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining. There are several types of surface mining, but the three most common are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying. These differ from one another in the mine geometries created, the techniques used, …

Nowadays, open-pit mining is the large-scale extraction of valuable ore materials from the surface with the use of modern mining equipment. If not operated properly, various unexpected events, such as equipment breakdown, slope collapse, hazardous gas emission and land pollution, would occur. With the rapid development of computer technology ...
Open-pit mining is one of several non-tunnel approaches to mining that gives miners ready access to minerals and stone near Earth's surface. Explosives help create …
Nanfen iron mine. Nanfen open pit iron mine, located in Nanfen district of the Liaoning province, China, is approximately 500m deep. It is one of the largest open-pit metal mines in China. Nanfen open pit mine is owned and operated by Benxi Iron and Steel Corporation (Benxi Steel). The mine produced more than 100 million tonnes of iron ore in 2011.
According to the flow chart, an initial ultimate pit is optimized by the original unit costs (without ecological costs). The original unit costs are 1.79 US$/t and 2.39 US$/m 3, respectively, for coal mining and rock removal.The initial ultimate pit is obtained in traditional way, which takes the maximum economic benefit as the objective function (named economic …
Numerous open-pit mines are scattered within the southern mountainous areas of China. Due to the complex mountainous terrain and abundant rainfall, surface disturbances …
Road extraction in open-pit mine is one of the important tasks of intelligent dispatching and manless driving. However, traditional methods for extracting open-pit roads cannot capture detailed information about roads, such as shape and surrounding environment. An MD-LinkNeSt (Multi Dilation-LinkNeSt) network is proposed to extract the open-pit ...
